I have interest in running this kind of setup for my 1986 k10 but can’t find the bar needed to mount them without drilling my front bumper. Thanks for any input on this, just want to see if anyone had similar setups .

Several companies are making versions like this,check E site or A site.What are your fab skills I'd just make one. 2 angle iron uprights from the bumper bolts probably have to shim for plumb. Then angle or square stock bolted or welded to the uprights as a crossbar for the lights

If its just for lights a couple of tabs on a peice of tubing would be pretty simple to make.
With no welder you might buy something like this

I have no welder so I was hoping for
Something like what’s in the photo so I could mount it up and it would look decent. The license plates mounts I have found don’t look the best or simply aren’t big enough to put 4 lights on and use daily

Any photos of y'all's setups helps tremendously so thank you. I was looking at the diversified designs one but I would love to see a photo of one on a k10 with no military bumper for refrence

I've been looking for a way to mount two KC Daylighters on the bumper of my '86 K10. All I really need is some chrome L brackets off the bumper bolts. That rack from Diversified just might do it. Maybe J could get it chromed to match the bumper and the lights.

These are what we used to use for bumper mounts,maybe not this brand but this style. I'm going to buy them probably tomorrow,just to have them if one if you doesn't get them first.

Looks like there is only 1 bracket in the package.
Lol,Thanks man, these used to be as common as dirt,I can't believe they can't be found anymore. These might work instructions say maximum opening 8mm .

My dad and I built something simple to mount fog lights on my 78. We bent a piece of aluminum in an L shape. One side lays on top of the frame and uses the bumper mount bolt to stay in place. The bottom of the L runs under the grill, then comes up between the bumper and grill. Leaves a nice flat piece sticking up to mount the light to. The only issue is you have to make sure your light’s mount can be rotated 90 degrees. I guess you could make another bend to the bracket and have a flat area. Also, the 81 and up bumpers mount a bit differently so this exact bracket may not work, but it’s another idea to consider. You may also be able do find a push bar too, like I eventually did. I’ve never seen a bar like you have pictured though, that’s probably homemade.

Thanks for all input! I would love to have four kc lights like what I showed in the picture. I thought about getting one that mounts so the bumper but I also don’t want to ruin my brand new front bumper… the Walmart mounts look good if only there was a mount like that but with a bar to mount 4 of them. Thanks again and I’ll be looking forward to seeing yalls setups and ideas
